Have you ever wanted to share everything from calendars to individual files across Windows, Linux and Mac OS X? This is exactly what XC connect can do for you. XC connect is an alternative to a Microsoft Exchange Server. It enables you to share calendars, contacts, and tasks between these platforms using Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Entourage, iCAL and address book for OS X, Novell Evolution, and more. Every time you login to the network your XC Connect connector client will automatically synchronize your calendars, contacts and tasks with the information from the server. XC Connect gives you the freedom to choose who has privileges to add, modify or delete your personal calendar events, tasks or contacts. As a manager you can set daily schedules for each employee or you can set a group calendar that everyone shares. XC Connect is comprised of two vital components:

• The first component is the XC server. The server should be installed on a networked computer accessible by all users who access XC Connect. The server manages all of the users, the different permissions that are set by each user and any files or data needed by multiple users. It can be configured to use XC Connect, XC Vault or both.
• The second vital component is the XC Connect connector. This application is installed on each computer using XC Connect. The connector is responsible for transferring calendars, contacts, data and tasks among the supported programs between the various platforms and the XC Server. As long as your computer has access to the network the XC connector will automatically synchronize the information between the server and the computers. You can also manually synchronize them.

XC Connect allows business to share calendars, contacts and tasks without the expensive overhead of having a Microsoft server, high licensing fees or complex administration. The web interface makes it very easy to configure users. If you share vital information within your company then XC Connect is just what you need.
